Is Bit Torrent any good ?

I've just downloaded myself a Bit Torrent player, but I wanted to know how fast the downloading is and how much space (on average) would something like a 1.5 - 2.5 hour film take up?

How long would it take to download, keeping in mind that I have Dial-up Internet ? (not Broadband)

Cheers

All sounds a little hi-tech complex mumbo jumbo c'p to me

I'll stick with buying stuff in a store

And that reminds me ... my mate is gonna give me every episode of the Simpsons, which his mate bought in the good 'ol US of A

Not too shabby :)

You gotta remember it's not all illegal stuff, sites like 3dgamers use it for demo downloads and movie clips.

Its a good system and it won't die for a while just the sites hosting the trackers for illegal movies will.

Bit Torrent Player ... yes ... Right- Click ... scroll down ... delete ... I'm sure

I agree sharing files with Bit Torrent is wrong and illegal, with all people who use it spending eternity in Limbo ...

That'll teach 'em

Limewire is good, there has been no courtcases against it, and its getting more and more popular.

But sharing files is wrong and illegal. Ofcourse.

If he's sharing them he's buggered.

Bit torrent is a dying thing.
It's been sued and fined and STUFF.

So less and less people are using it. Resulting in it getting slower and slower.

Don't download movies your most likely to get caught downloading them than anything else on the net, and the longer you take to download the more likely you are to get caught and with dial-up your going to get caught.

Erm to answer your question, a good quailty one is normally around 1.5gig but you can get good copies at around 700mb.

I compressed a dvd once down to 230mb i'll post a frame of it to show the quality in a little while i was quite impressed.

Don't even bother downloading movies if you have Dial-Up.

Don't even bother downloading movies.
